“Estefu nian kara Veera Argwene…”
The cool voice of Vono echoed throughout the temple, and Maldin snapped out of his reverie. It was starting to get dark, but the people gathered inside the temple did not even notice this. All eyes were on the lone figure lying on the cold altar.
“…mie zwellsal akinya saumied…”
He lifted his gaze and took one last look at the pale face of the woman on the cold stone. The last rays of light crept over her face, to the beautiful face, the long dark hair. His chest tightened as he realized, for the first time since her death yesterday, that he would never see her again. That despite all, she’s leaving them, him behind.
“…dreke nian shrisa kuri…”
Karakus, priest of fire, stepped forward and raised his arms in silent prayer. At once, white flames erupted from the sides of the altar. The Fire of Gewandel, Goddess of Death.
“…estefu nian kara…Veera Argwene…”
He watched in silent agony as the white flames slowly engulfed her body. He closed his eyes, not wanting to see. When he opened them, her body was gone and the flames are starting to disappear. It’s over. She’s gone. Estefu nian kara, Veera Argwene…Farewell to thee Lady Argwene, priestess of the waters in Nimaea, and the only woman he’d ever loved.
